Hip Length Challenge 2010

Just adding my update now. I'm stretching my hair because I just took out the rollers, but this time I'm not going to flatiron. I think that my CHI is not letting me retain all my length :( so I'm a little sad. I'm definitely WSL now so that makes me happy. Hoping to retain 3 inches by December. It'll still put me at purgatory length LMAO :lachen: but I will survive.

BTW I love the fact that you can't see my love handles in this picture! Guess my weight loss is paying off. Woot woot!

Congratulations on all fronts (hair and weight)! Keep going!
 
Toy, your hair is definitely looking hip length in that latest length check picture, maybe even tailbone. :)

I agree with Mz.Momo; length checks pants are a great idea. I think we need them in the Classic Length Challenge thread. :lachen:

Thank you so much You say Hiplength or even tailbone length you got me smiling from ear to ear,Yep i agree Length check Pants is whats needed now.
 
Toy, are you officially hip length now?
I can see a difference in length. The way I see it our hair is catching up to the V, which is a huge accomplishment!
 
I completely forgot we were supposed to post update pics:blush:......can my last pic in my Fotki be used as my update pic or can i wait for this upcoming weekend to flat iron??:perplexed...i've been wearing it up so much haven't even thought about length checking.
 
I am not a part of this challenge, at least not for another year anyway, but I had to hop in here and say congrats to my ultimate hair idol, TOY!!! :dance7:


That is so sweet you are bringing tears to my eyes very sweet!!!

Putting in my hair update.

I flat ironed, but it continued to wave up due to the humidity. So, I tugged to show the length.

beautiful!!! Are you hip length or purgatory length? (purgatory is the MBL-Hip middle length) LOL

@Toy
@Boston Maria


Congrats on your progress Ladies!

Thank you!! Looking forward to the next update. Hoping to be close to hip length by Christmas
 
I am happy for all of you long haired ladies! :dance7: Congrats esp to Toy, what a milestone! :cup:

But I am sad for my hair. If I had a time machine there are lots of things I'd change, and on the short list of those things is that stupid idiotic idea last year to texlax! My texlaxed hair is about a tenth as healthy as the natural hair is. It's so thin and split and broken. It makes me sad every time I go to do my hair. :cry3: Really, I'm on the fence about BCing all the chemically altered hair clean off. Either that, or putting in some C&G braids so I can still pamper my hair but I won't have to look at and interact with that broken chewed up hair :cry3: Sigh. Putting in those braids is more than a notion, though, since I'm a bit past WL. Who has time for all that? Esp with 3 little kids and final exams coming up.

My ends are super damaged already, so I'm not going to flat iron for a length check. Maybe I'll just pull it straight for pics after I DC tomorrow. I feel really depressed and sad about my hair. It would be so beautiful if I hadn't messed it up. :wallbash:
 
I'm so sorry you're feeling down about your hair LadyP :(
Are you babying it? DCs? How bout a hearty trim to get rid of some of those yucky ends?
Maybe it'll seem fuller and you'll lvoe your hair again.

DONT BC!!! let that be your last resort. You can transition and nurse/baby your hair as you go along.
 
I'm going to do a Stretched/pulldown length check too. But I fear I havent retained any length. I feel like i'm still just barely at WL. We'll see.
 
I am Officially Hiplength...That V drives me nuts.

@Toy - Beautiful and Sweet! Time to move over to Tailbone..:grin:

@BostonMaria - Your hair is looking very lovely, thick, and full... just stay on track. You'll be there soon!:yep:

@LoveLongLocks - Your hair is beautiful as always and you are progressing nicely. Keep it up!:yep:

Thank you!


If I go by the standard of curves on the body, then it would be Hip Length for me. My hand is on my hip bone, and my hair ends meet my hands if I pull this all out of that curl. :yep:

"Hip length is at the front hip bones and for some will fall half way in between waist and tailbone."
